 I have tested the patch submitted by Dave Tyson for x11/xfce4-terminal
 
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2012/12/20/msg017513.html
 "xfce4-terminal uses 100% CPU"
 
 on both DragonFly 3.3-DEVELOPMENT i386 and x86_64, and this patch
 corrects the near 100% cpu usage observed when using Terminal(s) in
 xfce4.
 
 Please include this patch in upcoming pkgsrc-2012Q4 and possibly
 backport to pkgsrc-2012Q3.  It is the difference between usable xfce4
 on at least DragonFly, and according to Dave Tyson, NetBSD 6 as well.
 
 The source is DragonFly master through
